Answer:The molecular formula of sulfur hexafluoride is [tex]SF_6[/tex]
Explanation:
Electronic configuration of sulfur is gives as:
[tex][S]=1s^22s^2p^63s^23p^4[/tex]
Sulfur has 6 valence electrons. It can either donate its 6 electrons or accept 2 electrons to gain fully filled electronic configuration stability.
In Sulfur hexafluoride, there are 6 fluorine atoms and 1 sulfur atom.Fluorine being most electronegative atom will attract the valence electrons of sulfur towards itself.
[tex]S^{6+}+F^-\rightarrow SF_6[/tex]
The molecular formula of sulfur hexafluoride is [tex]SF_6[/tex]
